Hey man, just wanted to say how amazed i became after i saw this pic, this is exactly why i started to study digital painting and this work will definetly be in a special part of my inspirational folder

I hoped you did it with mouse Do you think it can be done with mouse? (well, of course I don't want thisto make - but doing a great work with mouse)I know it's harder to draw, but is it possible to make this awesome work with mouse?

Yes it would be unfair to be able to steal skills of others without practicing! I practice when I can but I spend so much time at school that I don't have time to draw... I want to learn all those way to put textures, to put colours and I really love the face of the characters, expressions and all of that..! T.T And.. Dwagon ♥ :3 I want to go to an art school ! T___T

Because I live in France, my family doesn't have a lot of money and in France, an art school is at least 6000€ / years (~ 7,720 $) which are situated mainly at Paris, and others great towns of France where housing is expensive too... and we don't have enough financial assistance.. Next year, I will try a public school, I need to do a really hard contest, and this school very selective but is the only in my county which is not expensive...

i know what thats like =\ and it sucks, but wether you get into the school or not, it doesn't mean you can't do what you love. you could still make art, sure it's harder because there's nobody to guide you but think of it this way, there are plenty of self taught artists and many of them are famous. the question is, if they can do it, why can't you ? You could, i believe in you and that wasn't sarcasm lol. school helps alot and i wish you luck in that contest, ill be rooting for you though iv'e never met you

Oh thanks you!! You are right, I need to draw and I must not give up! You brought me my self-confidence back. But I want to learn and improve my skills ... and sometimes, tutorials on D.A are not enough... ^^' I have large gaps concerning the scenery and the incrustation of characters in these ...By the way, you are really really kind to me, and i'm happy to see that some people helps the others and gives them trust! ♥

This is really nice. Do you ever plan your pictures with a sketch? It seems like you had some issues getting the eyes right at the end, wouldn't a sketch help you with that, or do you prefer to have a constant work flow and think about that later (well that's what you did) or don't you even think about such things in the first place? (Questions o questions...). And I totally love how you do the skin... it looks so realistic, you really know your basics ! Mine always looks like plastic...
